This is true of most of R.R.'s films, except for El Mariachi (haven't seen the SPY KIDS films), that and they kind of fall apart at the end, IMHO, but here's to hoping that since he's adapting somebody else's material, and what great material it is, that that won't happen, especially since he's co-directing with Frank Miller.

BTW : I'm half way through watching SKY CAPTAIN and I don't feel compelled to watch the rest of it for the reasons you've stated. Might just have to send it back to NetFlix 1/2 watched. heh.

Is it a trunkshot?

Nope, but if there were a shot of a bunch of characters' feet, that would be a dead giveaway.

What's interesting is that the guy who made Sky Captain is to my knowledge directing an adaptation of Princess of Mars, a project to which RR was originally attached before he quit the DGA. Take that FWIW.

Maybe it's a new scene where Rosario Dawson, Jessica Alba, Brittany Murphy, and Carla Gugion give each other pedicures, smoke Red Apples, and talk about fast food and receiving cunnilingus.

No, no, no - I read on Hollywood Insider that it's a slow motion shot of Willis, Rourke, Owen, del Toro, and Frodo walking in front of a brick wall.

A simplay amazing trailer...good lord. I need to see this movie as soon as possible.

Thought everyone would like to see my two newest framed posters.

They are not normal movie size, so I had to get them custom framed, but once framed they looks soooooo sweet. I now have every poster made of the movie so far.

Hotness!!!

The more I see from this film, the more excited I get. April 1st can't come quick enough, but I keep questioning, how is an average movie audience going to react to ? Without knowing that the film has literally been storyboarded from the graphic novels, aren't average audiences gonna have a problem with the high styled atmosphere, expecially the very obviously CGIed background?

the first poster of alba with the gold highlights doesn't do it for me for some reason. But the second one.

Press screenings start this week, so expect mass reactions soon...

I'm gonna stop watching trailers for this if I can help it... the more I see, the less interesting it looks. I have a feeling it will be really boring to me... like that Sky Captain movie... I fell asleep in the theater watching that.

How can you compare this to sky captain?

There always has to be "that guy".

Sky Captain was a movie that all style & new special effects. Sin City is as much character driven as it is about style.

I have a feeling that this movie will not impress the guy in question as he seems to have little knowledge of the comics and this looks like one movie that will play well to those fans but not many outside the loop.

I guess we will see in a few weeks. I've been interested before I knew a single thing about the comic. Now that I have started reading them, I simply cannot wait to see it.

On the other hand, I know quite a few people that know nothing about it, but after seeing the trailer/s they were all at least interested, most were excited even.

Same on both counts. I saw the first trailer and was absolutely amazed, and have since purchased all 7 of the books. I was telling my friend about the movie and the comics, and after seeing the trailer in the theater she was impressed as well and told me "wow, that DOES look really cool."

Trailer on TV!! WOO!

I just can't wait for these toys.

Wow.

Shit yes. I have a full case all to myself on reserve plus the Wizard World in color variant. Normally I don't dork out over figures like this but I must embrace my geeky side for this movie.

I have all the old McFarlane Sin City figures & still love them.

Well I know you'll be at Wizard World this weekend Seeea, perhaps we should meet and finally have it out.

Wow that is nawice! Were can you get those?

Oh shit! There is a variant at WWLA? I was talking about the mail in variant. I hope its the same thing, if not you may have to help a brother out I'll be going to WWPhilly though.

If I was going to LA though, we would indeed have to meet up & argue all things dorky in person.
